An Arrival of Cholera at New York

On Sept. % the steamship Alesia ar
rived at New York from the Mediterra
mean with four passengers sick with Asiatic
cholera, there having been eight deaths on
board from the disease during the voyage
The ship sailed from Marseilles August 20,
and stopped at Genoa, Leghorn, Naples,
and Palermo, taking on 56l Italian emf.
grants, and having aboard in all 900 per-
sons. After the vessel had arrived at the
regular quarantine station, which is some
six miles below the lower end of New
York City, no time was lost in turning her
back to the Lower Bay, and putting the
passengers and crew under the striCtest
rules to cut off all possibility of the cpl
demic being communicated from the ship.
The sick we're landed on one of the small
quarantine ISLANDS there and put in hos
pital for contagious and infectious diseases,
and the others were placed In an observa-
ton hospital, TO be detained from ten to
twenty days, or until all danger is supposed
to be over.
The ship has been thoroughly washed
and fumigated, and the cargo snd baggage
put through special process of cleaning
by sulphurous acid gas, in much the same
way as rags are disinfected. The cholera
has prevailed for many weeks past at
Genoa, Naples and Palermo there being
many new cases daily at Naples, OF which
10 per cent. were proving fatal, but the
New York health authorities have no
apprehension that the disease will obtain
foothold here, so prompt and thorough has
been the action of the department. while
President Baylies, of the Health Depart
ment, is of the opinion that cholera in New
York City is not as bad as diptheria. There
were cholera epidemics in New York city
in 1882, 1884, 1S49, 1854 and 1866 Deaths
from the disease in those years are as fol
lows: 1882, 3,513; 1884, OIL: 1S40, sou {:
1854, $500; 1866, 1877. Most of the deaths
we're In tenement houses, and the disease
obtained its strongest hold in the vicinity
of bone boiling and fatrendering places.
In other parts of the city it yielded readily
enough to sanitary measures.

September 8, and was three days old when it

Pennsylvania in 1926 and appointed to West
Point when only II years old. Both Gen.
Mcclellan and Stonewall Jackson were his
classmates at West Point. He served with
distinguished bravery in the Mexican war
and was wounded at Chnpultepec He was
assistant professor OF mathematics at West
Point for time. During his brief career in
the civil war he came into honorable notice
whenever fighting was to be done. He
served with the army in the east.
Before tn. battle OF South Mountain Lees
army was widely scattered. Mcclellan had
nearly l0O.OO men at his command, Lee less
than 900 all told. Mcclellan recognized
the situation, and made known his intention
TO "cut the enemy in two and beat him in de-
tail" Gen. Longstreet was at Hagerstown
with his men, and between that and Harper's
Ferry, in Virginia, Lees lines were stretched
out very thin.

have Lees army really cut in two, the forces

Sept Is, Lee heard that the Union army
was approaching Turner's Gap. Hill was
faced about to meet them, and delay them
until Lees forces could put themselves to-
gether again. Hill left Boonsboro with all
haste, and marched up South Mountain to
Turner's Gap. He reached the top in the
early morning Of the l4th.

Meantime, where was Leei
The war had up to that time been chiefly
waged in what was regarded as Confederate
territory. Stonewall Jackson had long been
eager to change this tactics and carry the
war into Union territory Both he and Lee
had been casting an eye over Maryland.
Why not cross the Potomac into Maryland
by one Of Jackson's famous foot cavalry
marches, subsist on the country aud threaten
Washington from the north.
There was feeling in the south that Mary
land, geographically, politically and socially,
belonged to the Confederacy. The state con-
tanned many secession sympathizers. II was
believed that the sight of Lee and Jackson
and the stars and bars once within their bor-
ders would rouse all the Confederate enthu-
siasm that slumbered in the breasts Of the
Marylanders.
Gems. Lee and Jackson resolved TO invade
Maryland. Lee issued a proclamation to the
people Of that state, telling them that he was
coming among them to aid them in throwing
off that foreign yoke which had inflicted such
wrongs and outrages upon the citizens Of a
commonwealth allied 10 the states OF the
